I don't understand. Why they aren't maximizing their profits on the most popular starter?

gamefreak is a company of inertia, they thought incineroar would be the next big thing, and even if they have realized it isn't, they won't change course yet

Come the fuck on. He’s most popular in Japan, a country that goes insane in its stalking of idols.

Can you imagine how it would go seriously marketing the most girly starter ever to the franchise’s prime target of young boys? Or the trannyseal jokes becoming a million times worse than otherwise? Throw in all he can do is sit on his fat ass on dry land and it’s no wonder he’s ignored.

For once stop being stupid and think like a normie.

Primarina is an ugly immobile abomination. The only reason it's remotely popular is because it's a starter and little girls find the mermaid aspect cute enough to buy it's merchandise.

Pokemon isn't a franchise for young boys, it's a franchise for children in general that relies on nostalgia pandering to reel in adults as well.

I don't really understand what the fuck they were thinking when they designed a Pokemon that was so obviously feminine and then put it in a spot that requires it to have a 7:1 gender ratio. Nothing about this shit is a surprise, the franchise is 20 years old. Even pokemon like Sylveon can pretty conceivably be males or whatever. It's a dumb complaint but i just can't wrap my head around the design process. Why change gears so much from the playful seal bouncing bubbles?

Old habits die hard, GameFreak only does gender ratios like that for starters, Eevee, Lucario and other rare Pokemon to make them harder to breed, likewise with Ditto usually only showing up in the lategame or postgame.
Even though it all ultimately means fuck all because online trading exists and you WILL get a Ditto sooner or later, even if you have to wait until the near end of the game.

Heh, the siren theme is too interesting and melds well with performing/sea lions to drop it just because starters are mostly male. In the end it went from least to most popular, so it was worth it.

That's because I don't hate it's design. It's no better or worse than the other waifu mons. It just doesn't really make sense to put it in that position. Ignoring that it probably doesn't appeal to young boys and that most starters should, its design doesn't match its gender ratio. I would like it more if it was some random 3-stage pinniped line you capture out in open waters, like Dewgong or Walrein, instead of a starter.

Gen 6 took a complete U-Turn with Starter Design Philosophies and how they're marketed, each of the three are now geared a singular intended audience and are significantly more humanized in terms of appearance and having pre-defined personalities. As far as the audiences go, one's for boys (usually barabait), one's for girls (usually waifubait), and another's for older players (usually an edgelord).

I feel like the anime producers have a better idea of what will sell and what won't. The main characters don't really evolve any of their starters into their final forms if they're controversial. I don't think anyone minded Empoleon but Piplup was Dawn's cute shouldermon, and you lose that upon evolution. Ash had all 3 Unova starters but never evolved them into Samurott, Serperior, or Emboar. I don't think as many people had problems with Serperior but I guess Servine might've looked awkward in motion.

They didn't give Clemont a Chesnaught and Serena's Braixen didn't evolve. I would bet Ash's Torracat doesn't evolve. I don't think anyone cares about Brionne so that might go either way. Rowlet hasn't evolved into Dartrix so that probably isn't happening, either.

Honestly, its pretty upsetting. Not just because of Smash but in general. GF loves to shill popular Pokemon, and for Smash 64 - 4 and Pokken they did that. But now that we have this one Pokemon who could have been a legitimately interesting fighter in Smash who is also the most popular of the 3, she gets snubbed. Not just in Smash, but in everything. A small part of me hopes that DLC she gets in, but that likelihood of getting another gen 7 rep is basically 0. Its pretty aggravating getting snubbed this hard in every form of media.
